An out-of-control wildfire on Vancouver Island forced the evacuation of a campground and marina on Monday evening.
The Mount Underwood fire is about 630 hectares in size and burning about 15 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.
The wildfire has led to the evacuation of the China Creek Campground and Marina, which has 250 tent and RV campsites.
Fire risk in the area had led the facility to ban fires on the beach.
